How to make Tandoori bread in the village?
Cooking a giant turkey in a tandoor is an unconventional but exciting idea! Tandoori bread, also known as naan, is a popular accompaniment in many South Asian cuisines. Here's a simple recipe for making tandoori bread in a village setting:
Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1 egg (optional)
2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
Instructions:
Prepare the Tandoor:
If you're in a village setting, you may have access to a traditional clay tandoor. Ensure it's properly heated with charcoal or wood to a high temperature.
Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, and egg (if using).
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients.
Mix to form a soft dough.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Let the Dough Rise:
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for at least 2 hours. This allows the yeast in the yogurt to work, making the bread soft and fluffy.
Preheat the Tandoor:
Ensure the tandoor is very hot. Traditionally, the temperature can reach around 700°F (370°C).
Shape the Bread:
Divide the dough into small balls, usually around the size of a golf ball.
Roll out each ball into an oval or round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Cooking in the Tandoor:
Place the rolled-out dough onto the inner wall of the tandoor. It should stick to the hot surface and cook quickly.
Use tongs to rotate the bread, ensuring even cooking on all sides. It should take only a couple of minutes to cook each piece.
Brush with Ghee:
Once the bread is cooked and has a nice golden color with some charred spots, brush it with ghee for added flavor.
Serve Hot:
Remove the tandoori bread from the tandoor and serve it hot with your giant tandoori turkey.
Remember that cooking times may vary depending on the specific heat of your tandoor, so keep a close eye on the bread to prevent burning. Enjoy your unique village-style tandoori feast!
